Getting Ready to Plant Bulbs for Spring Blooming

I’ve been busy getting  ready to plant bulbs for spring blooming. Next spring I want to see clusters of yellow, red, purple and pink in every nook and cranny of my yard!

This last spring I tried my first ever bulb planting with 3 little ole bags of gladiolas I bought at the dollar store. I had 12 bulbs all together. Didn’t really have a clue about how to plant them but just followed the simple instructions on the bag and lo and behold 12 absolutely gorgeous gladiolas bloomed!  My glads were a variety of colors-yellow, red, lavender, white, pink and a really eye catching salmon color.

The best part about bulbs is they should come back every year.

Now I can’t wait to plant lots of bulbs this fall so I can enjoy them in the spring. I’m shopping for tulips, of course, daffodils, hyacinth and crocus. There are so many different varieties and colors to choose from but  shopping for them is part of the fun! I’m wearing my bulb catalog out!

Every time I plant something I think of that little poem:

Who plants a seed beneath the sod
And waits to see
Believes in God

It’s so easy to put a little bulb in the ground and then stand back and wait for the miracle to happen. If you’ve never tried it, you’re in for a refreshing treat.

You too should be getting ready to plant bulbs for spring blooming!
